RemotePi Board for Pi 3 B and B+ (External IR and LED)

Turn any remote control into a power switch for your Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and Pi 3 Model B+

This item is IN STOCK.

Imagine an easier, more convenient way to use your Raspberry Pi media center, simply switching it on and off with a button of your remote, removing the annoyance to unplug power connectors or having to leave it on all the time.

The RemotePi Board is an intelligent infrared remote controlled power switch add-on board specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi 3 B+. It is mainly intended to remote control and power off/on a media center system, i.e LibreElec, OpenELEC, OSMC, XBian, RasPlex, Raspbian, etc. You do not even have to buy an additional remote !

This variant of the RemotePi Boardhas the IR receiver and a round 5mm dual color LED connected via a 20cm long cable (included in delivery). This is useful, if you want to use a non-transparent case or you want to mount the Raspberry Pi with the remote Pi Board out of sight.

The RemotePi Board is customizable ! Power-on LED is too bright for you ? Dim it ! Do you want the RemotePi Board to automatically switch on the RaspberryPi after a pre-defined time ? Set the power-on timer ! There are many more options to customize your RemotePi Board, see the configuration tool page for details.

Comes with external IR receiver and LED cable assembly, mounting cap for LED case mount, and screw and nuts for mounting on Raspberry Pi

Pinout / schematics of the two on-board connectors is available on the support page in the section 'The Hardware'

New : New PCB Version 3.2 provides two pads (switched +5V and GND) to connect a fan (soldering required)

The RemotePi Board for Pi 3 and Pi 3 B+ is also available in another variant with a built-in IR receiver and LED here.

We also have a GPIO adapter available, which could be useful, if you plan to use the RemotePi Board together with another Raspberry Pi add-on board, for example an audio card.
